This movie made me so angry that I don't think I can watch a movie with Shailene Woodley ever again.
First off, the IMDb's summary is much more interesting than the movie. But a drama? I don't think so.
The cast. The casting choices made aren't bad, although I have mixed feelings when it comes to Jamie Dornan. While I thought he was great on ONCE he did disappoint me for choosing 50 shades over it. But we all have baggage which hunts us, right?
The plot. The plot. Like I mentioned above, the summary sounds interesting. But the movie is totally different. It got nice colors and sets, but I always had the feeling I missed out on something. Maybe that's way I didn't get the characters. They were so unlikable. So not interesting at all. None of them had a background, none of them evolved during the story. Literally nothing positive came out of it.
I also didn't like how reckless Daphne behaved. She slept with these two naïve idiots, not using protection, she didn't seem to want any of them to be around their child. She didn't want to know who the dad was. All she cared about was herself - not even in a good way, I must add - and that is something I can't accept. Frank clearly mentioned he wants to be a dad. But she just shrugged him away. Who would do this? It's not just her child. I mean, Frank was willing. He seemed to care!
But I get it. We. We girls are more like Daphne than we would like to admit. Even I must point that out. We play with fire, we are king. We have the control. I wonder if the movie actually wanted to express that message or if that is just my interpretation.
